Description
Drager Carbon Dioxide 100/a-P (100-3000 ppm) Aerotest Tube
Drager Carbon Dioxide 100/a-P (100-3000 ppm) Aerotest Tube is a specialised device for measuring carbon dioxide levels in compressed air systems14. This versatile tool has a standard measuring range of 100 to 3,000 ppm and requires a test volume of 1 L1. Moreover, it operates with a flow rate of 0.2 L/min and takes approximately 5 minutes to complete a measurement1.
In terms of accuracy, the tube has a standard deviation of ± 10 to 15%1. Furthermore, it utilises a colour change mechanism, transitioning from white to violet when detecting carbon dioxide1. Additionally, the tube is designed to function optimally in ambient temperatures between 15 to 25 °C and can handle a maximum absolute humidity of 23 mg H2O / L.
It’s important to note that this product has a shelf life of 2 years. Consequently, users should be mindful of the expiration date to ensure accurate readings. Lastly, the tube employs a specific reaction principle: CO2 + N2H4 –> NH2-NH-COOH Crystal violet. This chemical reaction is the basis for its reliable carbon dioxide detection capabilities.
